For some reason, we have been unlucky enough to see all the home games where Liverpool have stuttered and struggled this year. They came into this one on a good run of form, having beaten Man City a week ago.
Frankly you would not have believed there was a Wembley place at stake here. Liverpool looked tired and short of ideas while Blackburn evidently came to get a nil-nil. The tone for the match was set when Martin Skrtel was KO-d for a couple of minutes, which was a concern given the seriousness of head injuries. The best opportunities were half chances at best, with Toure's poked goal disallowed for offside and a couple more efforts flying into the side netting. At the other end Blackburn's Rudy Gestede was a real thorn in the side of the home defence, and they were working hard to keep Liverpool's midfield 'box' firmly closed.
The second half was not much better and began slowly to peter out. For all their negativity it was Blackburn who had the best chance with Mignolet making a great reflex save from a flicked header. At the Anfield Road end Liverpool's chances were drying up with Henderson's flash drive across goal saved. Plenty of other speculative efforts were blocked and again it was clear that the home side had run out of ideas and energy. The only faint consolation was that they were still in the cup and did have a second bite at the cherry at Ewood Park.
